After three days back at work following our Cape Verde trip we headed out to Texas with my brother and sister to watch the Austin Grand Prix. Travel turned out to be a bit manic, with a delayed outbound flight to Dallas meaning a rush to connect on to Austin. Then on the return we’d chosen to travel on the busiest day of Austin Airport’s year into a storm at Dallas. It all worked in the end though! Lesson learned, stay in Austin a few days after the race to soak up the city. The race itself was great and the ticket package got us access to the paddock and the post qualifying grid walk which was really interesting (if you like F1).
